We’re going on our holidays. I’m kidding myself into thinking that Brighton is going to be sunny, when I know in my heart of hearts that it will be drizzly with a biting offshore wind. Yum!
While we are away (and don’t miss us too much), enjoy this marvellously camp rendition of an already hilariously camp song. Mayer Hawthorne, everyone’s favourite Stones Throw-signed neo-soul artist, takes on ELO‘s classic ‘Mr Blue Sky’. And it’s precisely as fun as it sounds.
‘Mr Blue Sky’ taken from Hawthorne’s Impressions EP, a free set of covers that you can download here. See you on Monday!
